With over 17 years of experience leading high-impact global projects, I’ve built a career navigating complex challenges. I’ve been lucky enough to live and work across multiple continents, an experience that has shaped not only my personal perspective, but also my professional expertise. As a successful program manager, I’ve led intricate projects in diverse environments across the globe — from high-stakes diplomatic communications for the U.S. Department of State to managing operations for fast-growing teams to curating elegant, impactful fundraising events.I thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure situations, leveraging my crisis management expertise to navigate challenges with calm and precision. When overseeing logistics and driving large-scale initiatives, I excel at coordinating people and resources to ensure seamless execution and successful outcomes. I know how to lead diverse teams through change with resilience, creativity, and a sense of humor. Whether it\'s redesigning global policies or orchestrating the evacuation of citizens during a global crisis, I know how to pivot, adapt, and lead with clarity.Outside the office, you’ll find me at the barn. As an avid equestrian with a love for dressage and horses, the discipline, focus, and grit required in the sport have greatly influenced my approach to leadership and problem-solving. I find inspiration in the harmony between horse and rider, which mirrors my belief in balance, collaboration, and continuous learning. Nice to meet you!
